I am here to spread as much compassion and awareness as possible. Every one of us can help, and join the fight for the lives of our Brumbies.
A Small Victory!

Somewhere along the way, the Brumby debate became a choice between two extremes.
If you love Brumbies, you're accused of not caring about the environment. If you care about native species, you're expected to support inhumane slaughter.

Brumbies didn't ask to come to Australia. They didn't invade and ransack and pillage the country (unlike the humans who did).
Their ancestors were brought here by people. They carried us, worked for us, helped us travel through and build this country, and became part of Australian history.

Even if you want every single brumby gone from the wild, why would anyone advocate for them to die in terror and pain rather than fertility control, trapping/ rehoming and other humane management solutions?

If the consequence of the statistics put out before us means hundreds of horses losing their lives, those statistics should be unquestionable. But when it comes to Brumbies, it feels like we've ended up with the opposite.

Pro-cull supporters cling to the idea that it's either Brumbies or native wildlife, and one or the other need to die. But that is not the case, it is not a reason, and they will always go silent before explaining the real reason why anyone could support such cruelty.

This Saturday, people from every corner of Australia will stand together to fight for the lives of our Brumbies.
We all have different lives, different backgrounds and different opinions. But we all share the belief that there is a better way forward than unnecessary suffering.

Throughout the world, many introduced species have become woven into ecological processes over decades or centuries. The world is forever changing, and nature always balances itself.
Their presence can create new interactions, and their removal can produce unexpected outcomes. That doesn't mean

The Invasive Species Council is an independent, non-government environmental advocacy organisation that campaigns for policies it believes are the most "cost-efficient" for reducing introduced animal populations. But why would cost be the primary consideration when animal welfare, ecological com

There may come a time when the mountains fall silent of those hoofbeats. I hope we never become so disconnected from nature that we celebrate that silence, while simultaneously accepting the sounds of the cities, roads and towns that spread like a plague throughout the natural world.
